Enhanced podcast NOT exporting chapters

I have been podcasting for more than a year and I just started having this problem. When I export an enhanced podcast (to disk or iWeb), the resulting .m4a does not include the chapters.
I have the podcast track active when I export. Everything looks as it should, but no matter how many times I export the project, I don't get the chapters. Sometimes I don't even get the episode artwork.
PLEASE!! Help me out. I have a project that is ready to launch, but I need to have the chapters included.
Anyone?

Oh!! I am having this EXACT same problem. My other podcasts exported with the chapters and artwork I placed for them, and now it does not export the art or chapters. I am doing exactly the same thing I was doing before.
Please help!!! Did you find a solution to this??
Does anyone out there know how to fix this?

Podcast not exporting chapters

Hi all. I have a podcast episode here (~45 mins) and for some reason, it's not exporting chapter markers in AAC exports (through iTunes or to disk). It is based on a template project that I have used in the past (last time was ~May or so), and those worked fine.
I just tried to re-export another podcast I had made previously, based on the same template project, and it exported exactly as expected. So there's something with this file, it would seem.
The Console log shows this:
[0x0-0x558558].com.apple.garageband[38040] An error occured while parsing the TeXML document.
[0x0-0x558558].com.apple.garageband[38040] Line: 1, Position: 4865
[0x0-0x558558].com.apple.garageband[38040] Description: An internal QuickTime error occured (6)
GarageBand[38040] Audio engine overloaded, resetting
Seems like GarageBand isn't generating the podcast XML properly for the conversion process? I looked in the .band bundle, but didn't see the file to examine it.
Help?

There was a '&' elusive and hiding behind some uppercase letters. I needed to borrow some blueblocker sunglasses and hunting gear to find it. Wiley little ampersand. Those things are tricky to catch.
May I now say that I think that it's completely stupid that Apple doesn't filter those text strings, or at least notify in the help what the allowed characters are? About to submit a bug report.
Thanks for the help.

Enhanced Podcast Not Showing Podcast Track

I created a number of enhanced podcasts using Garageband 09. All of them display the podcast track (artwork) just fine in iTunes. Only some of them display correctly in QuickTime. I was using QT to export them as 3gp files, but some of them show audio only. The one's that show correctly list both AAC, stereo and Apple Photo JPEG in the movie inspector info. Those that don't show correctly (audio only) only have AAC stereo info in the movie inspector. They were created with identical processes via Garageband 09. Any ideas?

I had forgotten that these files were actually duplicates made in iTunes. In iTunes I had a bunch of enhanced podcast files on a particular album. I needed to use some of the files on a different album I was creating. I attempted to not alter the first album by selecting the create AAC version under the Advanced menu. I took the newly created podcasts and did a mass information change to the new album name. It was in this process that the JPEG was lost.

Enhanced Podcasts Not Enhanced on iPad

Am I overlooking something extremely obvious or are Enhanced Podcasts no longer supported by the 3rd gen iPad (2012)? When I play an enhanced podcast in the Music app, it looks and plays just like any other podcast. I don't see options to select chapters, the artwork doesn't change when a new chapter starts and there are no clickable links.
I really hope this is a bug on the latest iPad or stupidity on my part as I think enhanced podcasts are some of the best around. I'd really hate to loose all the functionality of these wonderful shows.

Have you thought about downloading the free Apple Podcast App?

URL's in Enhanced podcasts not working?

I did some tests tonight, and confirmed that STP2 does NOT properly embed the URL's in enhanced podcasts. I confirmed this by producing a podcast w/ the URL's in Garageband and it works perfectly.
How do things like this slip by the testers and get shipped in final retail by Apple? I bought STP2 specifically do to podcasts, and it can't even do that right.
How do I file a bug with Apple on this?

Enhanced podcast not publishing - runs perfectly in iWeb

All of a sudden my enhanced podcasts (audio tracks with photos) won't publish properly to my site. They appear correctly and run properly in iWeb, but when published only have audio. I have tried publishing from different locations thinking it could be a firewall issue, but that did not work. Any ideas?

Ok, I have found the answer to my own question. After banging my head against the wall for a long time and trying countless different things to get the podcast to work. I decided to try upgrading my hosting plan from the free GoDaddy hosting plan to the economy hosting plan. And voila Everything worked like it was supposed to in the first place. I only realized that the free hosting plan might be the problem after I tried creating a direct download link to the podcast and it did not work either. So I figured there was something fishy with the way the site was being hosted and it couldn't hurt to give it a try.
So boys and girls the moral to this story is don't use the free hosting plan provided by GoDaddy

Enhanced Podcasts not working in 10.4.4 Firefox?

Every iWeb podcast page I've visited in Firefox 1.5 loads the QuickTime movie and shows an image and the playhead for a split second before being covered up by the QuickTime question mark image which links to the Quicktime download page.
http://web.mac.com/joetye1/iWeb/NTRM/Podcast/Podcast.html
This is a page that does not work for me. Is this a Firefox issue, or do you have to create the enhanced podcasts a certain way for Firefox?

I'm having the same problem but in Safari. I can see my podcast artwork and play / pause / start buttons whilst the page is loading but when the page is complete, the podcast turns into the broken quicktime logo.
http://web.mac.com/jamesward/iWeb/linda/Radio/Radio.html
I have definately got the latest version of everything installed.
The podcast was created in Garageband and sent to iWeb from there.
For some reason, friends who are using Windows can hear it no problem.
Also, the subscribe button works and the podcast works fine in iTunes.

Enhanced podcasts not working in iOS 5; new music app keeps crashing

I just updated to iOS5 and regularly view enhanced podcasts. after the update, I can no longer figure out how to view the enhanced version anymore. I get the sound, but the image does not change. Can anybody please help?
on top of this the new music app in iOS5 keeps crashing and I have to restart the iPad all the time.

Having the same issue except for the crashes. Everything seems to be working, just not the way it used to. The enhanced podcasts were great, the ones that I subscribed to changed the backgrounds often and linked to other sites and gave some great info. Now... Nothing!
I have been reading that everyone is having issues with podcasts and the button to get new episodes, or whatever it was called, and this may just be another glitch. I sure wish they could fix it. I listen to podcasts more that I ever listened to music.

Enhanced Podcast Video Export

Hey there. I need a way to export my enhanced podcasts to a video format so the images that are associated with the audio can appear in programs like iMovie. I tried exporting it as a normal AAC file, but iMovie completely ignored the fact that it was an enhanced podcast.
Is there anyway to export the podcast from GarageBand in a video format? Are there ways other than this to get iMovie to recognize the images?

Thanks for the speedy reply, I've already tried most of what you have suggested.
I've put in and out marker points. I've kept everything generic to what the export function is defaulted to.
I tried exporting (video) (interactive image) and only thing that I seem to get working is an MP3 generated through compressor which doesn't really help my cause in trying to have chapter marked images or 'slides'made from the movie which is currently on the soundtrack timeline..

Enhanced Podcast Playback, with chapters and useable images?

I'm having trouble streaming enhanced podcasts from my iTunes PC to my Apple TV (software v.2.0). The audio plays, but there are no chapter markers show and no images.
If I sync the enhanced podcast I get the images (without any obvious chapter markers). The problem with this is that the images are displaced in the "angled" box next to the playtime line on the AppleTV. This is OK for some images, but useless for some that are presentation slides, e.g. in the excellent Jeff Curto photography history podcasts. http://photohistory.jeffcurto.com/
has anyone any suggestions on how I can view the slides "face on" and preferably full screen?
Thanks
Martin

I have been having a similar problem too. I have noticed that the enhanced podcast works on ipods, laptops, etc but I have yet to see it work correctly on Apple TV. The more I look into the problem... the more I begin to believe it is a bug with Apple TV.
I am hoping an answer comes up very soon or even an update.

Why are my enhanced podcasts not showing urls?

I'm not sure where my problem lies, if it is with my software (user error) or with my host or what, but the podcasts I produce are inconsistent when being played back. When I make them in garageband, I use shortened urls, and the preview looks normal. When I download them to my phone (both directly and through iTunes on my mac) sometimes the urls show up and sometimes they don't. It isn't an issue with the particular podcasts, as I can download them multiple times with different results, and my friends have the same problems.
If anyone could point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it. I export from garageband as .m4a, I host on podbean. I'm further confused by the fact that when the urls don't show on my iPhone/iPad, the pictures associated with them do.
Thanks in advance.

Have you enabled "Save incoming Media"
in your whastapp\Setting\Chat setting\Save Incoming Media?

I can't get garageband to export! It keeps getting stuck at 'creating chapters' when I try to export my enhanced podcast. Please help!

I am trying to export my enhanced podcast through garageband. I have all the current updates. I am on my MacBookPro 10.6.8 2.3GHz with 8GB ram. My enhanced podcast (podcast with pictures) is about 80 mins long and I have tried exporting with everything from the lowest settings to the highest always with the same result. I have tried deleting GB preferences. I have tried repairing permissions to no avail.
I hit export to disk or send to itunes.
I select some AAC format I want (optimized for spoken podcast).
It slowly builds the mix, normalizes, and creates chapters (yeah, it goes through the creating chapters bar to completion)
Then it goes all candystripe on the creating chapters bar once it fills up and will hang forever (hung for 8 hours....pretty much sounds like 'forever' in my book).
Please help...I have my podcast sitting there waiting to be used....I have tried exporting smaller chunks (by moving the end of file bar) but that doesn't work either. Is there a way to just send the pictures and the picture start times over to imovie and work with it there? I'd much rather work with the tools that imovie has but man that program is just a PITA to use when you want to run through 100+ pictures for variable durations (whereas it's easy to just drag and drop with garageband as you do playback).
The file only has one stereo audio track!

Hi notmatthew, I have exactly the same problem as you. I am trying to export a podcast about iPod X Anniversary so I need to publish it next sunday.
It's midnight in Spain but tomorrow I will tray something I read in other post:
w4b3l said:
Problem solved.
I deleted the chapters one by one, exporting it each time, until it worked. i then replaced the image (which was a .jpg and i converted to .png) with that chapter and now it works.
Could you try it?

Can't get enhanced podcast exported correctly!?!?

As an experiment to developing an enhanced podcast of my own I took a live audio cd and imported it into GB 3.0.2 on one stereo audio track as one continuous file. I then added chapter markers and images on the podcast track.
It seems that no matter what I try I can't seem to get my iPod to recognize the chapters. I've tried exporting to disk and iTunes as well as tried editing the info through iTunes itself to no avail. Plus I also notice that the file doesn't display in iTunes under the Podcast heading like my other downloaded podcasts do.
I even tried deleting all other unused audio tracks as one previous thread suggested that GB has trouble with exporting enhanced podcasts with multiple audio tracks and a mixdown should be performed first and then chapterized. Although as the post also said the menu sould read "Export Enhanced Podcast to Disk..." which mine doesn't say.
Any help in solving this dellima would be greatly appreciated.
PowerMac G5 ~ w/4.5Gb Ram Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Alright Kids,
It seems that my G5 just doesn't seem to get it! I moved GB and supporting audio files over to my PowerBook G4 and was able to create the podcast with the chapters embedded as I was looking to do.
However the file with multiple audio tracks would not create the chapterized file correctly, and it wasn't until I deleted all unused tracks to one audio track and podcast track that I got the desired result.
I would presume that performing a mixdown and importing the mixed down file into a new GB file to add chapters would be the work around to the issue and in essence be the equivalent to my deleting unused tracks.

Embedding links isn't something I've ever tried: I would suggest you ask in the GarageBand forum.

Exporting Enhanced Podcast

Using GB 08 to create enhanced podcast with embedded jpeg files of PowerPoint presentation. Completed the episode and exported using export to iTunes but it only appears in iTunes as a AAC music files no images appear. I tried exporting to disk and adding to the iTunes library with same result.
The files will play and display images correctly using Quicktime but not iTunes. I also tried exporting to iWeb, hoping I could pull the converted file from there to upload into iTunes but no luck.
So what gives?! I've mixed results when using GarageBand to create podcasts and starting to think I should just stick to using iMovie to do this.
Thanks
Jerry

... it only appears in iTunes as a AAC music files no images appear.
Enhanced podcasts do appear as music files in iTunes. How the images are displayed depends on your iTunes settings. In my settings, for example, the image appears in that little window below the playlists, and if I close that window, I don't see anything at all. Maybe you have done that?
